College: Dorm Life

You made it.
You're in college.
And thanks to all the tv shows and movies, you have a certain picture of what it's like to live in college.
Forget ALL of that.
Living in a dorm is not all what it seems.

The guys on your floor may or may not be assholes. Dont think they will invite you to their parties. If they are nice they will, but if they are douche bags they only invite the "easy" girls.

Dont expect them to lower their volume even if you are busy studying (dorm walls arent the greatest). If you ask them you might get named the bitch on the floor or they will just turn it up more.

The laundry room is the WORST!

You are lucky if you find an empty washer or dryer, so take advantage if you do. The laundry room will get disgusting. I mean underwear and socks everywhere, lint on the floor, etc. Dont be the asshole who forgets about their clothes and leaves them for hours sitting in the washer or dryer, because someone WILL take your clothes out.

Expect to have one type of critter crawling in your room. No matter how clean you keep it (trust me) they will come. So ask your RA to help stop this, my RA was really helpful and the cockroaches are gone!

Lastly, dont expect your roommate to get along with you. Thankfully my roomie an I get along fine, although there might be some issues we work it out.



But that doesnt usually happen. Do make sure to come to some "rules" if you can to avoid future problems.

Dorm Life, you hate it but you actually love it.

The White Hair Situation

Looking in the mirror I am oblivious to the silver thread in my hair.
All I care about is fixing my hair to look somewhat appropriate for class, well actually to impress that cute guy that I bump into on my way back to my room.
Thats when I see it. How can you miss that silver beam of light laying gracefully like a queen above a sea of black. Holy Shit. I just found my FIRST WHITE HAIR.


My first thought was anger towards my mother. Thank you mom for passing this premature white hairs on to me. I even texted her saying just that. Will I have to start dying my hair in 5 yrs? Im only 18 for heavens sake!

Then I thought, wow I need to stop stressing out so much. But it is college, and stress comes free with the deal.

Thirdly I thought, wow im sooo old.

Lastly, I thought : FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS

After I calmed down and came back to the real world, I laughed. Who cares if you have a white hair? Everyone gets them. Theres no need to stress over it because there are more problems in the world that are wayyyy more important.

So bring it on life. Im ready for my head full of white hair (as i cross my fingers and hope this happens sometime in 30 more yrs).

 To all of you experiencing this: Life goes on, so you should too.
